I have never worn a Livestrong wristband, but I could well understand the degree of inspiration, faith and belief that people felt while sporting one of those bands, anywhere around the world. It came from not just any foundation doing work towards a noble cause, but from a foundation that was inspired by a cancer…
How Vijay and Siddharth Mallya are handling the whole Kingfisher Airline fiasco is appalling. In a similar situation, way back, Richard Branson sold his first and extremely-close-to-his-heart business, Virgin Records at the insistence of financial institutions, so that the resulting funds could be infused into Virgin Atlantic. He supposedly cried the day the company was sold to EMI….
Is it Real Estate India, or Real Pest Ate India? 350 acres of land acquired for public interest by the Haryana government given to DLF for possibly a song. DLF gave Rs. 65 crore of unsecured loans to Vadra to purchase DLF properties at highly discounted prices. Share capital of Vadra’s companies went from Rs.50…
State Home Minister R R Patil came up with a brainwave idea to curb crimes against the elderly in the city. His idea is, that every policeman must ‘adopt’ (take responsibility) of a senior citizen. What do some people have for breakfast? Policemen in our city, and across the country are underpaid, overworked, and hardly…

A 27-year-old Amit Katarnaware does not seem to have a problem with corrupt politicians and bureaucrats eating the nation alive, drinking the nation dry. But he does have a problem with a few cartoons that just attempt to depict the sorry state those corrupt people in power have brought this nation to. . . How convenient…
Remember that scene in Sleepy Hollow, where the roots of the tree of the dead open up to allow the headless horseman through? My neighbors have their very own little Sleepy Hollow going on here 🙂
Here’s a joke a friend had forwarded some time back. While I found it extremely hilarious at the time, and still do, I just realized a thing or two that we could learn from it, based on my dealings with some people I’ve had the (mis)fortune of interacting with in the past. You go ahead…
Ok, I just coined a new word. It’s called Deja-vuow.! That’s Deja-vu-ow. (a combination of Deja-vu and ‘wow’).! Different people come across the same messages or pictures at different times on Facebook, as you may have often seen. So a close friend might suddenly be fascinated by something and share it. And you have that…
